plant sale text: The cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers of lobed tickseed herald the arrival of spring. Numerous small (1 inch) bright yellow flowers adorn each plant, held above the low-growing foliage. With time, each plant spreads at a moderate rate and forms a handsome clump. Its short stature and showiness make lobed tickseed a versatile native perennial for many gardens. Used by the Cherokee to produce a red dye. 1991 N.C. Wildflower of the Year.
